Oh hell yeah, you gave a shoutout to the SAJFP
Ronnie Kasrils has worked directly with Hamas since their founding as the Apartheid in South Africa was nearing its terminal state in the late 1980s. He also has not been shy at all in supporting their ongoing struggle against the Nazi entity (who has been a collaborator and now an enemy of South Africa).
Yes, many
There are many. I know some of them. Zionism really isn’t pro-Jewish, no matter how much they want to convince people it is because that’s the last thin justification they have for what they’re doing, so Jews should have even more reason than anyone else to support the resistance.
Resistance to Israel in the west has historically been spearheaded by anti-zionist jewish orgs. The main failure of the Western left wrt Israel was that we didn’t listen to these comrades when they sounded the alarm about e.g. the IHRA definition of antisemitism
Medea Benjamin, one of the founders of Code Pink wasn’t mentioned but she is literally everywhere in the DC area, no matter how small. I don’t even know how she knows about the events because they can be a small last minute fundraiser and she’ll still be there to show her support. She’s also constantly harassing politicians at 73 years old.
Max Blumenthal as well. He was critical of “israel” before it was cool and trendy.
Norm Finklestein also falls into that “before it was cool” area.
There are a lot of Jewish activists who have been supportive of Palestine before 10/7, which in my opinion speaks a lot about their character. It’s very easy to live in the imperial core and pretend the suffering your country is doing overseas doesn’t exist, especially when you have no direct relatives or skin in the game.
Note: I don’t mean merely anti-Zionist, I mean also full-on endorsing armed resistance factions such as Hamas.
i am he, although i don’t really consider myself jewish. i am of jewish background, but i don’t believe, i don’t practice.
I think Norman finkelstein does
Many, a prominent example is Sam Seder.
he is a jew whom has stated that he would join Hamas if he was Palestinian. Yes, even liberal jews dislike Israel.
I didn’t know he had said that, he’s definitely a bit better than Vigeland then. I’m still skeptical of him for being an electoralist for this long.
That guy’s a lib who compared Sinwar to Netanyahu. His co-host is also a dirty LIB with no real politics other than orange man bad.
the question was if there were jews that supported Hamas, and afaik he does not condemn them and dances around when asked, which to me signals he supports Hamas tho for obvious reasons he does not publicly say it. The fact that both hosts of the majority report show are libs and do not condemn Hamas is a good sign tbh.
Seder is the kind of person who, though I disagree with heavily as a Marxist, I could imagine them being an ally when push comes to shove.
Essentially, if bullied by a sufficiently powerful left, I would not be surprised if he threw his support behind socialists rather then siding with fascists.
Though I only think that’s a potential outcome, not a concrete one. Libs are famously untrustworthy and nasty when scratched.
